The host for this round, Olympiakos has only manage to claim just 1 point after 5 round of matches played, with one draw, and 4 defeats in a row. Although, their recent domestic league performance is still quite stable while still maintaining the lead at the top of the rankings, but level on points with their arch rival, PAOK with just a goal difference. However, coming to this game, if the greek club can manage to win this match, they will surely be seeing themselves feature in the Europa League knockout phase. Therefore, coach Pedro Martins team will be very determined to get a victory at home in front of the home fans.
On the other hand, the guest, Red Star Belgrade only got 3 points thanks to the victory against Olympiakos in the previous round, but the rest were losses against the strong opponents in Group B. At the Serbian Championship, the visitors are currently on top of the log with a huge 10 points gap ahead of all the remaining teams after only 19 matches played. However, coming to this game, coach Vladan Milojević's team are still very much holding the advantages for 3rd place before this trip. With just one draw against Olimpiakos they will certainly secure a tickets to play in the Europa League.
Prediction
I will go for the ''Under Goals'' option here because both teams will surely be playing a mindful game. I really don't see both teams creating much of a scoring chances due to how bad they had recently performed against a team of high qualities. So for me I will be banking on the Under 2.5 market and I think this will surely be a good call.
Pick
- Total Goals Under 2.5 @ Odd 2.01
